So far, Swami has revealed the very very subtle secrets of Karma. There are two things: First, we should not perform bad actions. Secondly, if we have to experience the fruit of our actions, be always in thoughts of God. If we practice these, we can free ourselves from Karma and escape suffering. Kuntidevi was very different; she asked Sri Krishna the boon that she always suffer trouble and sorrow, so she will never forget God!
While writing this, I randomly opened the book ‘My dear students’, to page 77 and read,
… “Atmananada was a pure hearted soul devoted to the practice of meditation. He had visited Swami a number of times and wanted to stay here in Prasanthi Nilayam. He was ready to give up everything to be here. I told him that this was not the right place for sadhus and the Ashram where he is from is the place for him. I sent him away giving him a japamala.”

As He is God, Swami does not interfere with Karmic law.
I can remove the Karma, because I am not God. I only love God. It is this love that does all.
All should strive for complete surrender, thirst for God and remove bad thoughts. Whatever happens in your life, whatever difficulties you face, think of it as God’s gift to you, as prasad. If you do this, you will not feel the burden of Karma, you will have the strength of mind to bear all with a smiling face. Many great souls have shown by example how to bear difficulties.
Ramana Maharishi had cancer. One day a worm fell out of the wound. He picked it up and put it back saying, “Why do you want to come out and suffer.” Saint Ramdas was imprisoned for twelve years in an underground jail; he continued to sing the glory of God. These great souls show the world how to separate the body from the mind.

Some may ask, “What about those who are close to Swami’s form, will they not receive His vibrations?”
Swami is in the Witness state. I am born only to remove the Karmas of all. It is only in Mukthi Nilayam that the Kundalini Stupi is built, nowhere else in the world. I am transforming all in the world through the Prema I have for Swami. Mukthi Nilayam is special. Here there are only ten people; they do not mix with others and their different thoughts. There are a few thousand people living in Prasanthi Nilayam close to Swami. They are involved in many service activities, with no direct contact with Swami. Not only a thousand people, but every day many thousands of people come to Puttaparthi from all over India and the world. Their many different actions, feelings and thoughts fill the atmosphere.
In the early days, there were very few devotees around Swami; they enjoyed His nearness and direct contact. He performed marriages, named the children, performed important ceremonies in the family and looked after their education and other needs. He involved Himself in many aspects of their lives, still they had to face the suffering that was their due. Once, a devotee asked Swami about this and He said, “All is decided when you are born, I am only an instrument to see that it happens. I am only a witness.”

Yet those who stay with me here should not be careless thinking, ‘We are here in Mukthi Nilayam. Amma and Swami have brought us, we will attain Poornam’. I always tell them, ‘Do not be careless, practice awareness all the time.’
Some may ask, “We are near to Swami, what about us?”
Yes, you are near God’s physical form, but have you realized His omnipresence? Realize His omnipresence; love Him in all His creation. Swami says, ‘Love all’, are you loving all in the world? If you are not, then there is no use being ‘near’, Swami’s physical form. You may ask, ‘How is it in Mukthi Nilayam? Are those who are with you loving creation, loving all?’ Whether they love creation or not, they love me; I am Prakrithi. When they love me, the feeling to love Creation naturally comes to them.
Not only this, it is my feelings that take the form of the books I write. This is a continuous task from morning to night. Those who are here translate my work and enter it into the computer. In the evening, we have satsang on what I have written. In this way, all are absorbed in my feelings day and night. These feelings take form as books; the vibrations enter the Space through the Stupi. They are purifying the five elements. These vibrations are transforming millions of people in the world. Then, how can they not change those few here and make them pure? As they stay with me, my qualities enter them. They learn to love all Creation. This is the difference between them and others.
continued...
Those who have come to Mukthi Nilayam and joined me, have a deep thirst for God. Due to the wisdom revealed here moment to moment, they are able to read, absorb and transform themselves. They are here to help with my task, with my work.
In the Prema Sai Avatar, they will come as my relatives and live with Swami and I. Their lives will be Poornam. As they have no Karmic debt, there is no need for them to be born again. The question may arise, ‘How is it they have no Karma?’
It is because they have been brought for God’s mission and they are here with me. In their next life, they will live with God and attain Poornam, the Absolute state. They sacrificed all and came here because of their thirst for God. Now they do not have God’s physical nearness, no bliss of living with God. It is due to this yearning they came here. So when they come next, they will come as God’s relatives and live near Him. They will experience and attain Poornam.

An example. There is a man called Rama. In this life, his experiences are a result of the Karmas he performed in previous births. This includes both good Karmas and bad Karmas. Now, what should he do in the coming 28 years?
All actions Rama performs, either good or bad will be registered in his Karmic account. The deep impressions that he accumulates, will be added to his sack of Karmas. In the forthcoming Sathya Yuga, he will live a blissful life. In 28 years time, only Swami’s feelings will function through Rama’s body. During the thousand years of Sathya Yuga, he will be born and die many times with these divine feelings. After a thousand years in Sathya Yuga, he will be born again according to the value of his balance of Karmas, left over from the present Kali Yuga.
This Karmic balance neither increases nor decreases during the Sathya Yuga. The whole age will be experienced in a blissful state. Throughout all his many births in Sathya Yuga, Rama may have different names and forms, but his Karmic balance will be waiting for him at the end of Sathya Yuga. It will be the cause for him to begin the cycle of Karmic births, when the Kali Age resumes in a thousand years; an Age much more terrible than now, the worst of Kali.
What then should we do in the 28 years? We must realize our condition and transform ourselves. This is the only solution.
continued...
Swami said in His Convocation Day discourse that after 28 years the whole world would become one. This is the Sathya Yuga. It means that we have all been given 28 years to completely transform ourselves. Every minute we must watch our thoughts and turn them towards God. We must control the five senses and purify ourselves. If we do this, there will be no Karma balance, the cause of rebirth in the next Kali Yuga.
continued...
I have written a great deal about Karma; how it continues birth to birth. I have revealed how in order to lessen the Karmas of the world, Swami and I are undergoing physical suffering in our bodies. This is all so that the Sathya Yuga can dawn. Swami is showing through these how the first age dawns; this truth was unknown so far.
Swami’s and my feelings enter everything in Creation and remove the impurities in Space. Our feelings fill the space purifying the five elements. For a thousand years, all will experience and enjoy this. At the end of the thousand years of the Sathya Yuga, man will be reborn and experience the balance of Karmas remaining from the Kali Yuga. If this is the case, what then is the solution to be free from the cycle of birth and death?
continued...
You may ask, ‘Is that all Sathya Yuga will be? You said everyone would get liberation. Now you say the Karmas will remain, still be there. What is this’?
The same thought also occurred to me after Swami revealed in meditation the truth about Karmic law. This Avatar has descended to reveal the subtlest of truths, so far not revealed to the world.
What is God’s nature? What are His qualities? How does God function when He descends as Avatar? How is the first Creation born? What is Karma? What is subtle Karma, what is very, very subtle Karma? How does it function in human life? Swami reveals these hidden truths to the world.
In earlier times, the higher wisdom of the Upanishads was revealed in the form of questions and answers between Guru and disciple. Now, through the conversations between God and Prakrithi, greater Truths are being expounded. Swami separates Himself from me and reveals Truth through the questions I ask Him. All my books are the higher wisdom heard in meditation from the voice of God. He has brought me here for these revelations.
continued...
Now, all experience the burden of Karma. I have asked for liberation for all. Due to this one pointed thought, ‘I am separated from God, I must unite with Him’, the blueprint for a New Creation emerged. I am not satisfied to experience God in this one body, I want the entire world to become like me and shower love on God. This blueprint has the power of creating a new world. It creates a New Creation like me, according to my desire. It is a Vasanthamayam Creation, where all will marry God and live with Him.
This new lineage is born to Swami and I and continues for a thousand years. In this lineage all men are Sathya, all women are Prema. All children are wisdom. This is called Sathya Yuga in Kali Yuga. At the end of a thousand years, all will suffer their Karmas again. During the many births they take in Sathya Yuga, they will not experience these Karmas. When Kali resumes after a thousand years of Sathya Yuga, their remaining Karmas will be waiting for them.
